Comment on Safari is more energy-efficient than Chrome and Firefox on OS Xparent

Comments

Really? I think it's well known that Chrome isn't nearly as efficient as Safari but I'm amazed just how big the difference between some websites is. Some sites are worse on all browsers, but I wasn't expecting the effect to be by hours.

So you look a site like Mashable and with Safari you're getting 1/3 the battery life of Cult of Mac. That's crazy.

But then on a few sites things are really nuts. What is going on with Forbes where Chrome's battery life is 50% what Firefox and Safari get? Something is going on there.

This was neat to see.
